It is normal to be nervous; the most important thing to remember is to always tell the truth. Even a so-called “minor fabrication” can completely discredit a witness and significantly weaken the entire case.

A neat appearance and proper dress in court is very important. Dress neatly and conservatively, as if you were going to church. Shorts, tank tops, flip flops and hats are not allowed in the courtroom. Do not eat, drink, or chew gum in the courtroom.
